This car was showcased at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon and this tuned Evo was made to break every single record known to Japanese racing circuits. It's first steps was on April 2, 2006 when it recorded a lap time of 55.063 seconds at Tsukuba Circuit in Shimotsuma, Japan. Later on, the CT230R lapped a 1:42.37 round the Fuji Speed Way and soon afterwards, it destroyed every single lap record in Tokachi Circuit, Central Circuit (Hyogo), Okayama International, Sugo, and Suzuka Circuit.
On December 2006, the CT230R returned on Tsukuba and set an impressive 53.999 seconds and a year later, the record was beaten again in a manly 53.589 seconds. This record breaking tuned Evo was piloted by Nob Taniguchi, based on the Lancer Evolution, and most of the parts were from HKS, while the 2.0L 4G63 engine was upgraded to 2.3L. It comes with HKS' GT3240 turbo that provides 552HP of power and 470.1 ft-lb of torque. For weight loss, most of the body panels are replaced with carbon fiber.
